Anybody ever had this happen? GF was waiting for a car going the wrong way in a bank parking lot. Bicyclist on sidewalk thought both cars were exiting (?) and tried to cut through the parking lot striking my car. Put some good size dings in the car. Bicyclist was fine and left the scene. My GF didn't get any contact information. I think she was pretty freaked out. Of course I'm stuck paying the deductible for damages caused by the bicycle.  Bicycle hit and run? I've heard of cars hitting bicycles, and bikes hitting parked cars to avoid an accident. This is an odd one though. An inattentive bike rider hitting a car in a parking lot.

Your car should be totaled. Repair Estimate (so far) $9,000 Diminished Value 3,000 Total Claim (so far) $12,000 Book Value vs Actual Purchase Price = not the same.

I fail to see anything wrong with either of them, at least nothing that a can of spray paint (Ford Red or Ford Blue) and a roll of duct tape (Alabama Chrome) can't fix...

Bicyclist could possibly have been liable for damage, or you might have recovered the deductible. A bicyclist has to obey all traffic rules far as I recall.

| In Illinois, a new teen driver can only have one non-relative in their car under 20 for the first six months of their licensing period. Does anyone know what the penalty would be for a new teenage driver that got caught with more than one teen in their car? Like is it a moving violation and will it make insurance go up when they were caught? | |

Replying to: erics6 (Aug 31, 2007 8:58 pm) That is the oldest trick in the book. If a girl wants a guy's number she bumps him and then gets his number "so I can call you with my insurance info" Check her pocketbook. I bet you find his number there.
